A smart identification tag system comprises a helmet and an identification tag. The helmet defines a headspace adapted to receive a wearers head. A sensor assembly is disposed in the headspace and comprises a sensor capable of capturing data and a wireless transceiver in communication with the sensor and adapted to transmit a wireless signal indicative of data captured by the sensor. The identification tag comprises a wireless transceiver adapted to receive the signal from the helmet, and a non-transitory memory in communication with the wireless transceiver and adapted to store the received data. The helmet is adapted to be worn by a wearer, and the identification tag is adapted to be carried on the person of the wearer, such that information captured by the sensor assembly is transmitted to the identification tag and stored therein. The identification tag may further store personal health information of the wearer.
